Lunch Date
So I'm meeting a nice young lady tomorrow for lunch and i'm looking for some suggestions as where's nice.... but not too OTT.... somewhere chilled and casual. We're both currently on a bit of a health kick and I am planning not to booze until I fly out to the UK at the end of the month, so somewhere avoiding all the brunch crowd would be good. That said booze should be an option in case we change out mind and want to get swallyed!
So:
- Nice but not OTT
- Casualish
- Away from the brunch crowd
Somewhere a bit different would be nice.
Would rather it not be waaaaay down in the Marina / Palm but not totally of limits.
Was maybe thinking Jetty Lounge.
Cheers

Re: Lunch Date
Surely a nice brunch is a good idea?
I'm going to St Regis again on Friday - was excellent and would suit a date type outing I think.
I think Prime 68 haven't restarted brunch yet since redesigning it, always a great place for food.
Otherwise, in the Habtoor City there must be some nice restaurants in that atrium bit (or whatever it's called)?
Will keep thinking. Friday LUNCH not brunch is a tough one.

Re: Lunch Date
What about one of the Tom & Serge venues? No booze but you can always go for drinks elsewhere afterwards.
There's always the Lime Tree.
Note: I'm assuming you're looking for creative food on the healthier side. Yeah, there's Jumeirah Janes aplenty but the food is still good.
Failing that, one of the Madinat restaurants? Food isn't amazing but decent and there's always the booze option if you want it. I don't think they do brunches outside the hotels.

Like fish? Alto Mar in the fishing harbour in Jumeirah 2 would be nice. No booze, nice setting (a few tables outside), great Portuguese style fish cooking.

Or if you want to be uber healthy, Life N'One in Jumeirah 1. Nice garden.

Re: Lunch Date
Some good suggestions so far.... however, I've never met the girl tho hence why I'm not going all out brunch style. I have done that before on a first date but due to the no booze thing I'd rather not as I am weak and I know I would end up getting on it as i'd be jealous of everyone else.
Madinat's not a bad shout.
